"According to the Texas Tribune, since 1998, the high risk pool “has provided high-priced coverage to Texans with pre-existing conditions who can’t find coverage elsewhere.”

Stacey Pogue, a senior policy analyst for the Center for Public Policy Priorities, told the Tribune, “I think that people are going to have many more options and many better options in the marketplace than they do in the health pool today.”

Insurance policies offered in the federal marketplaces are expected to be half of what families enrolled in the high risk pool have been paying. Also, Pogue said that consumers will have access under the new policies to care not provided under the risk pools, like maternity and pre-natal care."
